Italy's Consiglio di Stato (Sentenza n. 1930/2024) confirmed that dermopigmentation is a form of tattooing. The same regional regulatory framework applies — and the same need for traceable sterilization documentation.
Permanent makeup (PMU, dermopigmentation) follows the regulatory framework of tattooing. A 2024 Consiglio di Stato ruling (Sentenza n. 1930/2024) definitively confirmed that dermopigmentation is a form of tattooing and is not exclusive to beauticians, settling a long-running jurisdictional dispute. Regional tattoo laws apply in full: Lombardia L.R. 13/2021 (1,500 total training hours), Toscana L.R. 28/2004, Lazio L.R. 2/2021. Sterilization in a Class B autoclave is mandatory for reusable instruments, with SCIA filing, written informed consent, and a dedicated sterilization area. Penalties and enforcement bodies match those for tattooing. A Ministerial working group has been drafting national "Prescrizioni" on tattoo and PMU safety since 2018, but no binding document has yet been enacted.
